ECN is a 2.4 kernel option, so you neednt worry about that.
does it make any difference if you use an ip address instead of a hostname ?
ie http://216.239.37.101/ instead of http://www.google.com/
If it was a transparent proxy problem I'd expect telnet to have trouble too.
I'm having trouble with mine at the moment so I've put a manual proxy in.
try adding inktomi1-bir.server.ntl.com port 8080 to your browsers proxy
settings just to make sure. That might only work for suffering NTL subscribers
like myself though. I'd offer a link to other proxies but that wouldn't help
much :)
try dcpdumping the telnet session too, to see what that does differently.
does wget work ? thats a bit more fancy than telnet but not as fancy as lynx.
I cant imagine at what level this is going wrong.
If you solve it, make sure you let us know how, I dont want this problem
keeping me up at night :)
